Definitions

  • This invention relates to the discovery of novel pharmaceutical dosage forms of chiral drugs.
  • the separate enantiomers of some chiral drugs have different therapeutic properties, and/or mechanisms of action and yet in some cases it may still be desirable to dose both enantiomers together.
  • the ratio of the different enantiomers changes with time after initial dosing, which can lead to reduced efficacy of the drug.
  • the actual enantiomeric ratio at any one time may be dependent upon a number of factors, and may be further complicated if different dosage forms provide different enantiomeric ratios. Effects such as these have been observed with the different enantiomers of verapamil, for instance see Longstreth, J.A. Clin. Pharmacol.
  • a pharmaceutical dosage form comprises, in one portion thereof, a substantially single (+) -enantiomer of a chiral drug other than verapamil and, in another, separate, portion thereof, a substantially single (-) -enantiomer of the drug, wherein, in use, the different enantiomers are released at different rates from the dosage form.
  • the different enantiomers of the chiral drug are absorbed, metabolised, distributed or secreted by the body at different rates
  • their rates of release from the dosage form may be arranged such that their initial ratio, whether this is 50:50 or a non-racemic ratio, is maintained, ideally throughout the dosing period.
  • presentation of the desired enantiomer to the target organ is optimised, thereby increasing the clinical efficacy of the drug throughout the dosing period.
  • the present invention may also be beneficial in administering chiral drugs whose individual enantiomers have different efficacies, different modes of action, different selectivities, e.g. to receptors or enzymes, or different toxicities.
  • the present invention may also be beneficial in administering chiral drugs which have a side effect associated therewith, but where the side effect resides in only one of the drug's two individual enantiomers. In this case, it may be desirable to have a different release rate for the enantiomer causing the side effect, although this will depend upon the nature of the side effect.
  • Examples of chiral drugs where both enantiomers have a valid pharmacological input, and where a clinical benefit may be realised by controlling the release rates of those enantiomers include warfarin, tramadol, mianserin, carvedilol, citalopram, dobutamine, aminoglutethimide, alfuzosin, celiprolol, cisapride, disopyramide, fenoldopam, flecainide, hydroxychloroguine, ifosfamide, labetolol, mexiletine, propafenone, tegafur, terazosin, thioctic acid, thiopental and zacopride, and in particular warfarin and tramadol, and most particularly tramadol.
  • the present invention covers any dosage form in which the two enantiomers of a chiral drug are physically separated, or compartmentalised, so as to achieve different release rates of the different enantiomers.
  • separation, or compartmentalisation may be on a macro- scale, for instance with the different enantiomers being incorporated into separate dosage forms for simultaneous or sequential administration, i.e. as a kit, or separation of the different enantiomers may be on a micro-scale, for instance with the different enantiomers being present within the same dosage form and despite their physical separation being intimately mixed, or somewhere intermediate the two.
  • substantially single enantiomer typically we mean that one enantiomer is in an excess of at least 70% by weight with respect to the other enantiomer, and is preferably in an excess of at least 80%, and more preferably 90%, or higher.
  • a non-racemic ratio of enantiomers typically we mean that both enantiomers are present, with either the (-) -enantiomer being present in an amount in excess of that of the (+) -enantiomer, or vice versa.
  • a dosage form may be designed to allow immediate release of one enantiomer and sustained, or controlled, release of the other enantiomer.
  • immediate release typically we mean that release of the respective enantiomer occurs substantially immediately or after only a short delay, usually no more than five to ten minutes, after administration of the dosage form, and continues usually over a period of up to one to two hours.
  • sustained, or controlled, release typically we mean that release of the respective enantiomer is delayed usually for at least one hour and frequently longer, for instance for two or more hours, after administration of the dosage form.
  • the sustained, or controlled, release may be constant or variable throughout the treatment period.
  • the dosage forms of the present invention may be designed to release either of the enantiomers faster than the other, or before the other, depending upon the condition to be treated, or the patient type. It may be desirable to maintain a constant ratio of the separate enantiomers at the target tissue over a specified period of time, for instance at least 8 hours a day, preferably at least 12 hours a day, most preferably 24 hours a day. The ratio maintained may be 50:50, or a non-racemic ratio in which either the amount of the (+) -enantiomer is greater than the (-) -enantiomer, or vice versa.
  • Another option would be to vary the ratio of the two enantiomers throughout the treatment period, or at least for a portion of that period.
  • the release rate of either or both enantiomers can be arranged to vary, so that either the relative proportion of the (+)- enantiomer or of the (-) -enantiomer increases, or decreases, with time. The latter may be achieved, for instance, by using a number of different release coatings for the respective enantiomer.
  • Tramadol is formulated as the race ate for use as a high-potency analgesic with opioid-like properties.
  • the analgesic efficacy and safety of the racemate and the individual enantiomers have been investigated in a randomised, double-blind study with gynaecological patients using intravenous patient- controlled analgesia (see Grond, S, et al. Pain (1995) 62 (3) :313-320) .
  • (+) -tramadol appeared to be more potent in producing analgesia, it also produced more nausea and vomiting.
  • a preferred dosage form for administration of tramadol is one in which (-) -tramadol is in immediate-release form and (+) -tramadol is in a sustained-, or controlled-, release form.
  • the release rate of the (+)- enantiomer could be controlled in such a way to reduce the adverse side effects of nausea and/or dizziness believed to be associated with that enantiomer.
  • the anticoagulant drug warfarin which is currently formulated as the racemate for clinical use, both the (S)-(-)- and ( )-(+)- enantiomers exhibit the desired hypoprothrombinemic activity, with (S) -warfarin being the more potent (see Hyneck, M.
  • a number of different types of dosage form can be envisaged, for administration by a variety of routes, e.g. oral, rectal, transdermal, nasal, ophthalmic, pulmonary and injectable (subcutaneous or intravenous) .
  • routes e.g. oral, rectal, transdermal, nasal, ophthalmic, pulmonary and injectable (subcutaneous or intravenous) .
  • the Applicant's co-pending Application WO 97/33570 describes dosage forms from which the individual enantiomers of verapamil are released at different rates. and any of these may be employed with any of the above drugs.
  • one type of dosage form comprises a capsule containing two sets of multiparticulates having different release rates, one set containing the (+)- enantiomer and the other set containing the (-) -enantiomer.
  • the multiparticulates themselves can be made by any of the conventional methods, including extrusion spheronisation, high shear granulation, non-pareil seeds, etc.
  • the rates at which the different enantiomers are released from the multiparticulates can be achieved using any conventional controlled-release mechanism, for instance, matrix (ie. erosion diffusion) , coating, or osmotic. Dosage forms of this type are suitable for oral and rectal use.
  • Another type of dosage form comprises two tablets, i.e.
  • Another type of dosage form comprises an osmotic pump tablet comprising two distinct portions, typically two layers, one portion containing and pumping the (+)- enantiomer at one rate, and the other portion containing and pumping the (-) -enantiomer at another rate.
  • Another type of dosage form comprises a bi-layered tablet, one layer containing the (+) -enantiomer and the other layer containing the (-) -enantiomer, the two layers having different release rates for their respective enantiomers.
  • conventional control-release technology can be used to achieve the desired effect.
  • bi-layered tablet may have (-)- tramadol in an outer layer as a starter treatment, leading on to release of (+) -tramadol from the core which would provide maintenance therapy.
  • Another example of a bilayered tablet may have (S) -warfarin in an outer layer as a starter treatment, and (R) -tramadol in a core for maintenance therapy.
  • Different percentages of the individual enantiomers could be used in different tablet preparations so that doses could be titrated for individuals.
  • Another type of dosage form comprises a compressed coat tablet having a core containing one of the (+)- and (-) -enantiomers and, surrounding the core, a shell containing the other of the (+)- and (-) -enantiomers, the core and shell having different release rates for their respective enantiomers.
  • Another type of dosage form comprises a patch for placing adjacent a patient's skin, the patch comprising two distinct portions, one portion containing the (+)- enantiomer and the other portion containing the (-)- enantiomer, the two portions having different release rates for their respective enantiomers.
  • two separate patches may be used, i.e.
  • Another type of dosage form comprises a polymer implant comprising two distinct portions, one portion containing the (+) -enantiomer and the other portion containing the (-) -enantiomer, the two portions having different release rates for their respective enantiomers.
  • two separate polymer implants may be used, i.e. as a combined product (kit), one implant containing the (+) -enantiomer and the other implant containing the (-) -enantiomer, the two implants having different release rates.
  • Another type of dosage form comprises an aerosol containing two sets of microparticles having different release rates, one set containing the (+) -enantiomer and the other set containing the (-) -enantiomer .
  • two separate aerosols may be used, one for each enantiomer, i.e. as a combined product (kit) , the microparticles of each aerosol having different release rates.
  • Other types of dosage form may be for administration by injection. With dosage forms of this type, different release rates of the different enantiomers may be achieved by means of, for example, liposomes or microparticulates.
  • the two enantiomers are effectively dosed separately, it is essential that they are provided in a form that is not harmful to the prospective patient. If they are provided in salt form, both salts should preferably be stable and non-hygroscopic.
  • the dosage forms of the present invention can be used in the treatment of conditions for which the chiral drug is usually administered, particularly in patients disposed to, or who may be put at risk by exposure to, an adverse side effect.
  • tablets were prepared using a Universal Testing Instrument (Instron floor model, Instron Limited, High Wycombe, United Kingdom) at a compression rate of 1 mm/min, using a tabletting pressure of 200 MPa, and an 8 mm flat-faced punch.
  • a Universal Testing Instrument Instron floor model, Instron Limited, High Wycombe, United Kingdom
  • the disintegration properties of the tablets were assessed in a disintegration tester (Erweka GmbH, Heusenstamm Germany) according to BP using water at 37°C ⁇ 0.2 K.
  • the dissolution profiles of the tablets were evaluated employing the USP XXIII paddle method (Pharmatest, Hamburg, Germany) using 1000 ml distilled water at 37 °C ⁇ 0.5 K and a paddle speed of 100 rpm.
  • the dissolved amount of drug, whether (+)- or (-) -tramadol hydrochloride, was measured with on-line UV (Phillips PU 8620, Hamburg, Germany) at a wavelength of 220 nm.
  • Figures ⁇ represents (+)- tramadol hydrochloride and H represents (-) -tramadol hydrochloride.
  • Example 1 Immediate-release tablets were prepared from a powder mixture of 50.0 mg (+)- or (-) -tramadol hydrochloride, 46.5 mg microcrystalline cellulose, 3.0 mg croscarmellose sodium and 0.5 mg magnesium stearate, using a tabletting pressure of 200 MPa. Disintegration was monitored over 30 minutes. The drug release from the immediate-release tablets is depicted in Figure 1, with the y-axis showing the concentrations of the individual enantiomers in the dissolution medium. The dissolution pattern observed guarantees a rapid pharmaceutical availability of the drug.
  • Example 2 Example 2
  • Controlled-release tablets were prepared from a powder mixture of 50.00 mg (+)- or (-) -tramadol hydrochloride, 119.15 mg hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose (HPMC) and 0.85 mg magnesium stearate, using a tabletting pressure of 200 MPa. Disintegration was monitored over a period of 7 hours.

  • a twelve hour controlled- release was achieved with the present formulation. After 6 hours, the (-) -enantiomer is released slightly faster than the (+) -enantiomer, achieving nearly 100% drug release at 12 hours, whereas only 86% of the (+) -enantiomer was released after 12 hours. Below 6 hours, the drug release profiles of the two enantiomers were very similar.
  • Example 3 Example 3
  • Bi-layered tablets were prepared by pre-compressing the powder mixture of Example 2 at a tabletting pressure of 20 MPa to form a controlled-release layer.
  • the dissolution profiles of the individual layers of the bi-layered tablets were obtained by chiral HPLC analysis of tramadol free base using a Chiralpak AD Column (eluent 90% heptane, 9.99% isopropanol, 0.01% diethylamine) , on which (+) -tramadol had a retention time of 4.5 minutes and (-) -tramadol a retention time of 5.6 minutes, and are depicted in Figure 4, in which the y-axis shows the concentration of the individual enantiomers in the dissolution medium.
  • Shorter release profiles from a controlled-release layer may be achieved simply by altering the amount of the excipients used, and in the present case by lowering the amount of HPMC Furthermore, if increased dosage is required, the tablet diameter may be increased.
